Public Sector Behaviour Standards

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:32): Supplementary: the minister indicated that some of those incidents were included in the commissioner's report or those matters being considered by the committee. What about those that were not? Can the minister outline specifically what he has done, other than sit on a committee?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:33): As Treasurer and as the person responsible for all the Treasury officers, I have been working with the senior officers of Treasury in terms of responding appropriately to the recommendations of that particular committee. I have ministerial responsibility for the actions of those officers within the department. The initiatives that have been taken by the department are done after reporting and consultation with me.
